This chapter explores the concept of music moving simultaneously along different collections or alphabets in music theory, using examples and explanations with 'Doa Deer' song and the white keys of a piano. It discusses the uneven spacing of white keys, multiple collections like major triads, and the complexity of combining different motions, emphasizing their significance in historical music genres.
Today we're joined by Dmitri Tymoczko, Professor of Music at Princeton University. Dmitri will talk about the geometry and patterns we hear in music, as well as explore its history, particularly from the 1900s onwards.
